Book: A Practical Guide to Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery with VMware Infrastructure 3
One week ago VMware started a new, very welcome initiative: the publishing of long books, called VMbooks, about specific topics.
The first one, 232 pages, is titled: A Practical Guide to Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery with VMware Infrastructure 3.
This VMware VMbook focuses on business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) and is intended to guide the reader through the step-by-step process to set-up a multisite VMware Infrastructure that is capable of supporting BCDR services for designated virtual machines at time of test or during an actual event that necessitated the declaration of a disaster, resulting in the activation of services in a designated BCDR site.
